I'm just a total piece of shit and I'm not sure why I keep posting on this site. Christ, I have spent years with idiots giving me bad advice about online dating and haven't noticed that the thread I'm in selects for people that can't talk to people worth a damn.
honestly it seems like a pretty hard thing to enjoy or defend as a consumer, unless you really enjoy a specific set of games that benefit from it. it might be harder to make a fortnite or pubg or league of legends without constant monetization through loot boxes and skins, for instance. as someone who has (probably even tens of) thousands of hours in LoL who hasnt spent any money on it at all, im well aware that im like an absurd outlier in that regard. i wouldnt have my personal experiences without 'games as services' as a concept - though my own enjoyment/gain here probably doesnt outweigh what i might have lost in enjoyment out of better game development if it hadnt been dreamed up
